Five Diet Tips: Out of Sight, Out of Mind
Here’s are some weight-loss tips for you that doesn’t involve counting calories or fat.
Changing how foods are served and stored can help you drop the pounds and maintain a healthy weight. All the tips are very easy but hard to follow for many people. Give it a try and you’ll loose weight. Here’s how:
• Select smaller bowls, plates and spoons for serving and eating. People eat more when food is served in or eaten from larger dishes. Eat slowly, chew every bite, don’t eat infront of TV.
• Get rid of high-calorie leftovers by storing them in inconvenient locations or in opaque containers. Seeing a calorie-laden goody can trigger the desire to eat. Food in the basement pantry is less tempting than leftovers on the kitchen counter. Better, don’t store it at all. Give it to homeless person or freeze it.
• Keep healthy, low-calorie foods within sight and easy reach.
• Buy small packages and serve or order small quantities. Larger packages or larger portions often lead people to eat more than they would if the serving or package were smaller. Do you have a big package? Check the size of one portion on the label. Put one portion on the plate and put rest of the bag away. Keep the will strong, don’t go for second.
I like M&M’s and I know that it is bad for me. So I have a rule. I buy a bag of M&M’s only if it is on a big sale ( half a price).
• Put leftovers away immediately or keep the serving dishes off the dining table.
In a recent issue of Housecall, the Mayo Clinic’s e-newsletter, doctors urged that if you wolf down high-fat, high-calorie foods whenever you’re upset, get rid of them.
Availability of food is a major factor in determine how much you eat, according to Housecall. It is a true. If you don’t have it at home, you’ll not eat it.
In addition, according to the newsletter, you get no sense of how much food you’re eating when you eat directly from a container. Your perspective is much more accurate if you can see the food on a plate or in a blow.
Stay strong and good luck!
